This is the 24th chapter of the crossover story. I don't own the series of High School DxD or the video game of Final Fantasy 13.

No flame reviews, seriously it's a bad rep and I have no tolerance whatsoever.

Town of Kuoh

Last night, Virgil have explaining about his biological parents to his adopted family, leaving them shocked that he find out what his real parents like. His father Cornelius is a wise man, serious, strict, and a loving father to his son, but he can be a bit protective while his mother Griselda is strict and scary to her students, polite, and caring to her son. He also showed them the pendant his parents have given him yesterday which they're surprised that two photos were inside it. Lightning, Hope, Nora, Serah, and Snow were glad that he found the truth about his biological parents. Of course, his adopted mother then embraced him with a heart-warming hug along with his adopted aunt. Hope and Snow were proud of him for finding his biological parents while Nora then joins them, hugging her cousin. Kuroka, Asia, and Koneko were in teary eyes since they're happy to see them again and felt touched of this reunion.

That day, Virgil, Kuroka, Koneko, and Asia were about to head towards Kuoh Academy as he opens the door, revealed Sirzechs, Grayfia, and Rias were outside of his house.

"Hello Virgil." Sirzechs greets with a smile. "It's wonderful to see you again."

"Likewise." Virgil said. "What brings you here?"

"Well, the open house is tomorrow and I can't wait to see my sister in action." Sirzechs answered. "Also, I've heard that you met the two exorcists from the Church."

"Yes, they happened to be my parents." Virgil nods. "They're the same parents that placed me in the orphanage since 17 years ago."

"I see." Sirzechs said. "Well, I won't hold you to it, we'll be on our way so we can have a proper tour."

Virgil then gave him a nod as the four were heading towards school while Lightning and the others were heading out to meet up with Sirzechs so they can also have a tour. However, Nora followed them to see what school he's enrolled which Serah and Snow have given her permission.


Kuoh Academy

Issei was walking towards Kuoh Academy alone since Rias was given her brother and Grayfia a tour which she's going to be embarrassed for the most part. Even though, Issei haven't been walking alone in a while only because Rias was with him. He remembered being enrolled in Kuoh Academy, he was a nobody due to his perversion, but he was walking with her which he was happy for that. Until, he felt something strong that was close as he looked at a young man who was leaning against the rail.

He is a young man with light silver hair and hazel eyes. He wore a dark green V-neck shirt with a high-collared black leather jacket over it, burgundy jeans with a silver chain drooping down over them and black leather chaps with three bands encircling his right calf, and black shoes with black buckles.

"I am Vali. White Dragon Emperor." Vali introduced himself with a smirk as he looked at him. "But you can call me the Vanishing Dragon."

"Holy crap!" Issei exclaimed, felt a strong pulse on his hand. 'My left hand is freaking out again. Sure picked a crappy time to do it.'

Issei then turned back to Vali, but noticed that he was close when he extended and pointed his finger an inch away from his nose, leaving him gasped with shock.

"How vulnerable you are." Vali said, leaving Issei glaring at him. "It wouldn't take much to defeat you with my magic. Almost too easy."

Issei then take a few steps as he was about to unleash his Boosted Gear, but two swords thrust towards and crossing just right in front of the Vanishing Dragon's neck while the gun was aiming at his head from behind. Kiba, Xenovia, and Tosca were the ones appeared in that instant. Kiba held his Sword of Betrayer while Xenovia had her Durandal and Tosca had her holy gun. Issei was surprised to see them appeared so suddenly he didn't feel their presence at all.

"Don't you think this joke has gone long enough?" Kiba asked, glaring at Vali.

"It wouldn't be smart for us to allow you to start a fight with a Red Dragon Emperor here, now would it?" Xenovia said with a scowl.

"Is this really the best move?" Vali questions with a smirk, turned his head to Xenovia. "If all of you fighting still couldn't bring Kokabiel down. You'll never beat me, but don't take my word for it. Keep going if you don't care causing a scene."

Kiba, Tosca, and Xenovia then stand down when they lowered their swords disappeared and Tosca's gun was concealed back on her jacket. They then walked over to join Issei, never taking their eyes off Vali. Until, Virgil stood right next to Vali with his gunblade pressed against his neck while Kuroka, Koneko, Asia, and Nora approaching them, making Vali smirked wider.

"It would seem you have finally arrived. Virgil Farron." Vali remarked.

"What business do you have, Vanishing Dragon?" Virgil asked with his dark tone, steadied his hand and unwavering.

"Do you plan on attacking me?" Vali inquired with his interest.

"If need be." Virgil responds. "Just remember that I can easily decapitate you, especially when I'm already this close and your armor won't save you this time."

Giving a small chuckle, Vali backed away with his hands of surrender.

"Calm down, I'm not here to start a fight." Vali assured him. "I'm just here to see my rival."

With that, Vali then turned to Issei as he spoke.

"Tell me Issei, how do you think you'd compare to those with the power is this world?" Vali asked.

"What do you mean?" Issei questions skeptically.

"I'm talking about your Balance Breaker, it looks quite incomplete if you ask me, but still a 4-digit ranking." Vali answered, held up four fingers. "On a scale of strongest to weakest that is. I'd say between 1000th and 1500th or lower."

"That's great, so what's your point?" Issei questions with a scowl.

"My point is that you're a valuable player." Vali answered simply. "You should be taking care of and properly nurtured, don't you agree Rias?"

Issei then turned to see Rias and Akeno were behind them, but Virgil didn't look since he knew that they're here.

"I don't need your advice." Rias told him with her displeased expression as she walk towards next to Issei. "Mine telling me what this is all about? If you come here on behalf of the Fallen Angels, I can assure you it's a huge waste of time."

"Were you aware that the Welsh Dragon and the Vanishing Dragon called upon a twin sky dragons?" Vali inquired with a chuckle. "People involved with the Red and White Dragons have never had the best of luck. I'm fascinated, makes me wonder how your life turn out."

Virgil then pressed his neck with his gunblade further, causing blood to trickle down. Vali then looked at him which he was giving him a warning if he goes any further by putting them in his harms way, leaving him chuckled.

"Calm down, like I said I didn't come here to fight." Vali assured as he then walked away. "I've got more important things to do today."

With that, Virgil then placed his gunblade on his holster while the others were watching him leave which their nervousness didn't go away. Issei glared at Vali while Rias then held his hand. Issei felt sweat on her hand, worried about her which he knew that she was nervous. Nora then embraced her cousin which she was scared as Virgil then embraced her while tried to calm her down.

After everything have settled down, Issei was then placed in the infirmary which his hand was still in pain. Virgil and Nora were heading towards the infirmary to check on him which every student in Kuoh wanted to know about Nora, told them that she's his cousin which everyone were adored of her cuteness. He also told them that he has to watch over her while Serah and Snow were away. Of course, both Matsuda and Motohama were harassing him about his aunt, but Nora did punch them in the gut and knock them out by giving them a killer hook punch, leaving the male students scared while the female students were amazed. Virgil kinda figured that Snow and Lightning have taught her how to fight in combat which he was glad that they did. When he opened the door, Kalawarner spoke.

"Yes. Can I help you?" Kalawarner asked.

"Sorry, I came to-"

Virgil stopped his sentence when he saw Kalawarner in the infirmary, leaving him surprised. She was now wearing a white lab coat with a dress shirt that tightly held her large breasts, black mini-skirt, stockings, and black high heels. Around her neck was a stethoscope as she was looking at the clipboard. Not began to stop staring at her, he thought she had to be the sexiest nurse he's ever seen. Still looking at the paper on the clipboard, Kalawarner got annoyed and mistook him for another pervert or faculty member ogling her body.

"If you're hurt, then tell me. If not, then-"

She looked up at the glare, surprised to see it was Virgil, but didn't noticed the little girl.

"Virgil! What are you doing here?" Kalawarner asked.

"That's my line." Virgil said, closing the door behind them to get some privacy. "What are you doing here in the infirmary?"

"I'm the schools new nurse." Kalawarner explained, placing the clipboard on the desk. "The school was looking for a new nurse to take the position, so I go from there."

"I see." Virgil said. "Is Issei in there by any chance?"

"He is." Kalawarner nods. "He told me that his Boosted Gear was flaring up because he met the Vanishing Dragon, Vali."

Virgil nods as Kalawarner then turned to Nora.

"And who might this little one be?" Kalawarner asked curiously.

"Oh, that's Nora." Virgil answered as he turned to her. "Go on Nora, say 'hi'."

Nora then walk towards the Fallen Angel as she spoke.

"H-Hello, Kalawarner." Nora greets shyly.

"Hi Nora." Kalawarner greets back. "It's okay, I won't bite."

Issei couldn't help but overheard their conversation, but he decided not to interrupt as Nora spoke.

"You seem like a nice lady." Nore compliments, leaving Kalawarner giggled a bit.

"Why thank you, sweetie." Kalawarner thanked her with a smile. "Your brother here gave me another chance to live when him and I had a confrontation."

That got Virgil chuckled a bit, leaving Kalawarner raising her eyebrow.

"I'm not her brother, I'm her cousin." Virgil corrects the Fallen Angel. "She's the daughter of Aunt Serah and Uncle Snow."

"Oh, I didn't know that." Kalawarner said with surprised expression. "Well then, I'll see you two later then."

Kalawarner then exits the office, leaving Virgil shook his head with a chuckle. He then opens the curtain to see Issei which his hand calms down a bit.

"Hey Virgil, sorry I overheard your conversation." Issei apologizes.

"Don't worry about it." Virgil shrugs. "I've figured you'd be here."

Issei nods as Nora spoke to him.

"That Kalawarner is a nice lady." Nora told him.

"Yeah she is." Issei agrees. "But I'm surprised that she was a nurse."

"Yeah, same here." Virgil nods, changing the subject. "Anyway, how are you holding up?"

"My hand is calming down a bit." Issei answered with a sigh. "Good thing, I didn't want Akeno to suck the power out of me during class. So I guess Vali was the White Dragon Emperor?"

"I'm afraid so." Virgil nods. "However, his power is much stronger and his own armor is-"

[His is the complete form.]

That got Virgil and Issei's attention, but Nora then look around left and right.

[Issei's form couldn't even begin to compare.]

"Thanks Ddraig." Issei thanked the dragon sarcastically.

"Who said that?" Nora asked with confusion, feeling scared.

"Oh right, Nora this is Ddraig." Issei said as he showed his hand to her which his hand glowed in green.

[It is a pleasure to meet you Nora. I'm Ddraig, the Welsh Dragon and the Red Dragon Emperor.]

Nora then yelped as she then hide Virgil from behind.

[What did I say?]

"Don't worry about it, she's new to this." Virgil assured him.

"Anyway, can you tell us what's going on between the White Dragon and the Red Dragon?" Issei inquired.

[When all the great powers: God, the Angels, Fallen Angels, and the Devils were at war. The other creatures and humans were suddenly forced to choose sides to insure their survival. The only ones who refuse were the dragons.]

"Why?"

[The majority didn't think the war have anything to do with them, they ignored it and lived how they pleased. However, in the midst of the war, two foolish dragons decided to start a massive fight.]

"Let me guess. You and the White Dragon, Albion?"

[Yes. Not caring about the Great War that had taken over the world, they fought wildly on the battlefield.]

"I don't get it, why were they fighting like that?"

[Hell if I know, they probably don't remember the reason themselves.]

"Okay, I'm already over this story."

"So, what happens then?"

[It gets better. Unless something was done about those two, the war wouldn't be able to continue. The Three Great Powers called a temporary truce in order to deal with the rebel dragons.]

"That makes it sound like it was more than just a fight. What happened after they stopped?"

[Fury, their anger became wild beyond imagination. They lashed out of the leaders of the Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels. They didn't like anyone, not even God or the Devil King interfering with their battle. It was payback, plain and simple.]

"I wouldn't want to mess them, dragons are nuts."

"And then what?"

[Our story doesn't end there. The dragons ended up getting diced into thousands of pieces and their wicked souls were sealed within humans as Sacred Gears. From that day on, those same dragons have used humans as inner meteors to meet and fight over and over again.]

They both remembered the time after the fight with Kokabiel was over, Vali have picked up the wounded stray exorcist when Ddraig and Albion have spoken to each other, wondering when they'll be fighting since it's their destiny to fight one another.

"I think I know where you're going with this now."

[There have been times where the human host has died before the two have the chance to meet.]

"And since I'm alive and I've met the other dragon. I have no choice but to help you fight him." Issei said as he then put his shoes back on. "Well even if it is my fate, I'm a low rank Devil and a loser, there's no way I'd be able to take on someone like him."

Virgil then sighed which he might be right about it since Issei may have a bit of experience in fighting, but he still lacks in training as they then left the infirmary to get to the next class.

Few minutes later, Virgil, Issei, and Nora were heading towards the classroom, but Issei still have a goal to he a harem king since he still has that goal on his mind and it's not gonna stop him for fighting against Vali. When the door was opened towards their homeroom.

"YOU BASTARD!" Matsuda and Motohama shouted and threw their fists at both Virgil and Issei.

Nora then charge after the two perverts, punching them in the balls which it cause their faces paled while holding their nether regions.

"You leave my cousin alone, you big bullies!" Nora shouts at them with a glare. Virgil placed his hand on her shoulder, reassuring her as he then turned to them.

"Would you care to explain why are you guys trying to punch me and Issei?" Virgil growled.

"Everyone knows what you two did, punks!" Matsuda yelled.

"Somehow you got that Xenovia chick to join the Occult Research Club!" Motohama added. "I'm tired of cool stuff happening to you two all the time!"

Virgil and Nora ignored them, walking over to his desk while Issei then began to argue with them. For some reason, Kuroka have kept her relationship with the white-haired l'Cie a secret which they don't want to get them any wrong ideas about it, but he didn't have a problem with that. Of course, the female students have grown jealous of Tosca dating with Kiba since he heard about that rumor and figured that the rumors have spread like wildfire.

When Virgil was about to turned to his cousin, he noticed that she was missing as he began to look for her. Until...

"Boo~!" Nora said, playfully scaring him, causing Virgil to look at her as she then began to hide into another classroom. Virgil then chuckle with a playful smirk, knew that she just wants to play as he then approached to where she's hiding. Issei then noticed that Virgil's cousin was hiding.

"Where did she go?" Virgil asked, pondering. "Did she disappear? Or is she invisible? I have no idea."

That got Issei chuckled a bit since he was just playing with her. The female students then giggled of this display along with Asia which she knew that Nora wants to play with him.

"Hmmmm, Gotcha!" Virgil said, opens the slide to scare her which she's not here.

"Boo~!" Nora said, earned her cousin's attention as she giggled.

"Hey, you're good." Virgil praised with a smile, raised her eyebrow.

Nora then giggled a bit as she began to head outside of the academy while Virgil follows her which he knows where she was going. Both Issei and Asia smiled that their friend playing with her.

"Is Virgil going after her?" Xenovia asked curiously.

"Nah, she's playing with him." Issei told her. "I guess Virgil really needs that."

"Nora really do miss him." Asia added with a smile. "Even though it's been only a month."

Issei nods with an agreement, even though for Nora it felt like it's been years since Virgil left Gran Pulse, but it was only a month.

"I brought you something." Xenovia said, held four condoms on her hand. "Keep these with you for the next time."

That got Issei blushed with shock when he noticed the condoms as Asia spoke.

"Ooh, those are pretty." Asia said with a smile.

"Here, you should probably take one too." Xenovia offered, extend a condom to her.

"Oh thanks." Asia thanked her as she looked at the condom. "But what are you suppose to do with it?"

"Looks like Issei is throwing a party later, where is at?" Kiryuu asked with her perverted grin.

"This has nothing to do with me!" Issei exclaimed.

"Hey, do have any idea what these are for?" Asia asked, earned a nod from her.

"You use it when you're doing the naughty and you don't want to have random babies." Kiryuu told her when she whispered in her ear, causing Asia blushed.

"Alright that's enough! Asia isn't interested!" Issei exclaimed, glaring at Kiryuu.

"Are you sure?" Kiryuu questions with a smirk, leaving Issei dumfounded. "Nice retort. I think she'd be very interested to know what you're planning to do with Xenovia."

Asia couldn't take it anymore when she blush with her teary eyes as she then quickly covers Kiryuu's mouth.

"No, it's okay if he doesn't want to tell me, I don't want to know!" Asia shouts.

"YOU DICK!" Matsuda and Motohama shouts, threw a punch at Issei.

This time, they hit him as he got knockout down to the floor as the two perverts then began to place him a hold between Boston Crab and Camel Clutch submission holds. Asia then tried to convince the two that he's a good guy, but she know that Issei is a big pervert.

"Hey Issei." Xenovia called him, kneeled down to his level. "You ready? Let's go make intercourse."

"No I'm Not!" Issei shouts as he then manage to got off, quickly snatch the condom from her and ran off.

Issei walked outside of Kuoh Academy which he tried to figure what's up with Xenovia, thinking that she's just being crazy. What got his attention is Virgil was still playing with Nora which she was hiding from one of those trees, causing him to chuckle a bit. Virgil then found her as he quickly grabbed hold of her while placing her on the top of his shoulders, laughing. Rias, Akeno, Tsubaki and Sona saw this display that Virgil and Nora have shown which they were giggling a bit. Lightning, Hope, Snow, and Serah came towards the old school building when they saw Virgil played with Nora.

"Nora, slow down." Serah shouts with worry.

"Oooookaaaayyyy, mmmmmooooooom." Nora said in slow motion as Virgil then walk in slow motion, causing Rias, Akeno, Lightning, Hope, Snow, and Issei to laugh.

"Come on Nora, listen to your mother." Snow told his daughter with a chuckle.

"Yes dad." Nora said with a smile as Virgil then placed her down to the ground. She then ran towards to her parents.

"Thank you for watching over Nora." Lightning thanked her son. "I know watching over your cousin and head to school was a bit hard for you."

"No need to make a deal about it. She was just curious about this school." Virgil told his mother. "Even though, she just wants to play."

"Yeah, every girls liked her." Issei added with a smile. "I'm just glad that everything went alright. Except those two I've been friends with."

"What happen?" Serah questions.

"Well." Issei said. "She just beat those two up since they're perverts."

That got Snow chuckle a bit which he was obviously proud of her for beating Matsuda and Motohama up as Rias spoke.

"How's your arm feeling?" Rias asks with a smile.

"Awesome." Issei answered. "It went back to normal after I rested a bit."

"I hear you've met the White Dragon Emperor." Sona pointed out seriously.

"Yeah, I guess he just wanted to come here and check out the sites or something." Issei guessed.

"Seriously?" Sona questions.

"I don't think he's here for sight-seeing, Issei." Virgil shook his head. "As far as I know, he's working for the Fallen Angels. Just as long as Azazel puts him on a short leash."

"Regardless of his attentions, I don't want him on a school grounds." Sona told them.

"Me either." Rias agrees with a sad expression, but turned to frown. "Especially since we'll have much of a bigger problem to deal with soon."

"Good, we agree." Sona agreed as she and Tsubaki left the old school.

With that, Virgil and the others decides to head back to school since he got class coming up.


Town of Kuoh

After Virgil and the others left Kuoh Academy since it's over, they made their way home while Virgil then began to explain about Vali's intentions. When he finished his explanation, they were shocked about Vali wanted to fight Issei since they both have the Sacred Gears that were pieces of two Heavenly Dragons that caused major destruction ever since they fight each other countless times, but interfered by the Three Factions and Leaders of Angels and Devils have died during the battlefield when they made a temporary alliance to fight the two dragons.

"Do you think Vali was here to fight against Issei?" Koneko questions.

"Without a doubt." Virgil nods. "But Vali is working with Azazel which he'll be on a short leash for a while."

"I have my doubts about it." Lightning said seriously. "The peace summit won't start in next few days and we got time until then."

"Tell me something, did Vali ever mentions about his Sacred Gear?" Hope asks curiously.

"He did, his Sacred Gear is called Divine Dividing which it holds a White Dragons called Albion." Virgil answered. "I don't know how it works, but what I know it can't be good and Issei won't have a chance to fight against him."

"True only because he lacks training, magic, and has a little bit of battle experience between the Rating Game and Kokabiel." Snow points out. "For the most part is that he's a pervert. But he does have guts, I'll give him that."

"Kuroka, what can you tell us about Vali." Virgil said when he turned to her. "You may know about him more than we do."

Kuroka gave him a nod as she spoke.

"His Sacred Gear, Divine Dividing can only cuts the enemies strength, magic, and power in half after coming into physical contact in only 10 seconds." Kuroka explains. "When his opponents power was left drained, his powers is added."

"So it's like the opposite of Issei's Boosted Gear?" Hope questions.

"Yes, but both of their Scared Gears are the 13 original Longinus that holds the spirit of two Heavenly Dragons." Kuroka told them. "Instead of Issei's Boosted Gear that shaped like a gauntlet, Vali's Divine Dividing takes the shape of the wings on his back."

"I see." Lightning said, pondered. "If anything whenever Vali ever tries anything funny, we'll be ready for him."

They nodded with an agreement as they decided to turn in for the night which the open house is tomorrow and the peace summit will be in for a few days since the Three Faction leaders have made a decision.


Kuoh Academy

The next day and today is Open House where their parents are welcomed in the academy. Virgil noticed his adopted family is here and Issei's parents are also here which the pervert was a bit embarrassed. However, what Virgil didn't know was that his biological parents are here which they're here to see his son.

"On you desk, you'll see a lump of clay. You're assignment is to create something original, it can be anything you want as long as it's meaningful to you." The teacher explains as the students began to form the clay into something. "We all see life in situation differently, it's the same with every day conversation we may have. We use the same words, but it's our personal expression that defines the thought."

Xenovia didn't start her clay which she's having trouble, but Asia was having fun with hers.

'Something meaningful, huh?' Virgil mentally thought as he then came up with the idea. He began molding and detailing the clay without any hesitation as he form the clay into the model of Lightning Farron, holding her gunblade and getting in her fighting stance.

"Virgil, that's amazing!" The teacher suddenly declared. "Such skill, such detail!"

'Good thing I've learned from Aunt Serah.' Virgil mentally thought which he was thankful that Serah taught her nephew.

Before they knew it, the white-haired l'Cie was surrounded by the rest of the students, all of them looked at the sculpture with awe. Lightning knew that her son made a sculpture that looked like her as she smiled along with Snow, Serah, Griselda, Cornelius, and Hope. Nora look closer at the sculpture, noticed that it looked like her aunt.

"Hey Virgil, was that your mom?" Issei asked, earned a nod from him.

"Wow, what was her name?" One of the student named Katase asked with a smile.

"Her name is Lightning Farron." Virgil answered. "She's my mother."

"Oh snap, son! She looks hot!" Matsuda exclaimed with his perverted grin.

"Yeah and with that hair!" Motohama added, adjusting his glasses.

"You guys need realize that she's right behind us, right?" Virgil questions sarcastically.

With that, Lightning then approaches the two pervert with her dark aura and her wicked smile on her face.

"Now, what was that you two boys talking about me?" Lightning questions with her wicked smile, grits her teeth.

Both Matsuda and Motohama were starting to get really scared as Virgil stood up to his desk with his dark aura and a wicked smile of his own which the two were really frightened. The two then give the two perverts a major beating, leaving Issei, Xenovia, and Asia really scared of them. Snow, Serah, and Hope sighed since they knew that those two are asking for it, but Cornelius and Griselda shook their heads about this display which they figured that Matsuda and Motohama were being perverted to Virgil's adopted mother.

When everything was settled down, Virgil, Asia, Issei, and Nora went outside of the academy since the white-haired l'Cie was satisfied for beating Matsuda and Motohama into a pulp while his adopted family were having some discussions with his biological family which it's pretty much serious. Rias and Akeno have arrived when they approached them. They took a look at their sculptures which they're well-made.

"Ara, ara, I guess I wouldn't be surprised, considering the fact that you groping on Rias' body every day, right?" Akeno asks Issei with a smile.

"Believe me, it's not everyday." Issei said with a nervous smile, scratching the back of his head. "And because of that, I've been forced to carve the image deep into my mind!"

Virgil sighed with annoyance which he knew that Issei have groped Rias' breasts everyday, not surprised.

"And yours was amazing, Virgil, just like your adopted mother." Rias compliments with a smile.

"Thanks." Virgil thanked her. "I've learned how to do that in art school years ago, along with Aunt Serah."

"I'm sure Serah would be proud of your art work." Rias said, earned a nod from him.

"AH NO WAY! A MAGIC GIRL PHOTO SHOOT!" Motohama yelled, earned their attention when they saw the male students were rushing towards the gym since they heard a magical girl was here in Kuoh Academy.

"COME ON! AS FORMER PHOTGRAPHY CLUB MEMBERS, WE'VE GOT TO REPRESENT TO RE-COM FOR THIS THANG!" Matsuda told them with a yell.

"A magic girl?" Issei asks with confusion.

"It can't be." Rias said with shock.

"Or can it?" Akeno said with a giggle.

Virgil then sighed which he knows that magic girl from anywhere, Serafall Leviathan as they headed towards the gym where the male students were about to do the photo shoot.

When they arrived at the gym, they saw the male students began to take photos at Serafall which she's doing a sexy pose while wearing a magical uniform.

'No doubt about it, Serafall Leviathan.' Virgil thought with a sigh.

"What the what?" Issei asks himself. "Am I awake? Is that a Magical Girl Milky Spiral Alternative Cosplay?"

"Issei, how do you know about that costume?" Asia asks curiously.

"Because I watched the whole show in one setting." Issei bragged with a smirk. "A friend of man was obsessed with it and insisted we do a marathon."

"Sounds fun, but which friend?" Asia asks again.

"KNOCK IT OFF!" The voice of Saji yelled, earned their attention as he spoke. "We are still on school property! You've seen enough of this!"

Virgil knew that the male students weren't too happy about it as he then walk towards them with his dark aura and his death glare. The male students were starting to get goosebumps when they noticed him approaching as he spoke.

"You heard him, clear out of here, now!" Virgil yelled as the male students were running out of the gym.

"Thanks man." Saji thanked him with a smile, earned a nod from him as he then turned to Serafall. "Alright, are you related to someone at this school?"

Serafall nods as Saji spoke.

"Okay, well they should've told you that this sort of outfit is unacceptable here." Saji told her.

"Um Saji." Virgil called him. "I don't know if you're aware, but that's Serafall in that magic girl get-up."

Saji was then confused as they heard the door opens, revealed as Sona.

"Saji, what's going on here?" Sona questions with her serious expression.

"Oh hey Sona." Saji greets her when he was about to tell the Student Council President.

"I've finally found you, Sona!" Serafall exclaimed happily, leaving Sona flinched at the sight of her sister with a few hairs sticking out of place.

This left Issei in a puzzled state, trying to figure out how did Serafall knew Sona. She quickly jumped off the stage and ran off to Sona.

"I'm so happy to see you!" Serafall chirped, making Sona uncomfortable. "What's the matter, you look sad. Your face is all red. Aren't you excited to finally seeing your big sister again? I'm gonna bring a pair of more happiness from you. Come on, you should tell me how much you missed me and I'll say 'Oh Sona, I've missed you too.' And I've give you a big fat kiss and you kiss me back and that will lead to girl-on-girl action, wouldn't that be hot?"

Sona sweated which she's still uncomfortable with her sister.

"She has a sister?" Issei asked confusingly.

"She does." Virgil nods with an awkward smile. "That's Serafall Leviathan."

"She's currently on of the Four Devil Kings." Saji added. "I'd always heard things about Sona's sister, but I didn't recognize her since this is the first we've met."

That got Asia and Issei shocked which they now recognize her when they've first met in the Occult Research Room as Virgil and Rias walked up behind her.

"It's been quite a long time, Lady Leviathan." Rias told her with a smile.

"Oh yes it has, Rias." Serafall said to her.

"You've made quite the impression as usual, Serafall." Virgil said sarcastically.

"Virgil, it's been a while." Serafall said to him. "How are you holding up at this time?"

"Very well, both my families are here in the Open House." Virgil told her. "I take it you came here to visit Sona at the Open House."

"Yeah, but I have to find out about it on my own." Sona answered, pouts. "Sona's a meanie and didn't tell me. I was so mad when I found out the truth, I almost attacked Heaven out of frustration."

Virgil sighed with annoyance, figured that she haven't changed one bit when they first met.

"What am I missing, is she still talking about the Open House?" Issei asked with confusion.

Nora then walked to her with a smile, earned Serafall's attention.

"Well hello there Nora, it's good to see you again." Serafall greets her with a smile.

"Hi Serafall." Nora greets back. "I've seen you doing the picture-shoot."

"Sure am." Serafall nods. "And it's called photo-shoot. I've always wanted to become a magical girl."

"Listen to me." Sona said with an unsatisfied expression. "I am responsible for the entire Student Council here. Even if you are family, this is inappropriate school attire. You're going to have to change!"

"Why do you have to be like that? Can you the tone of your voice right now? You're borderline violent." Serafall whined childishly. "You know that I've never ask for anything. All I want is to be a Magical Girl."

Issei felt familiar about that line somewhere before.

"With my sparkling staff, I will do my duty and obliterate all the Angels and Fallen Angels!" Serafall chirped with a pose.

"Do you have any respect at all?!" Sona questions, finally snapped. "If you start sparkling, you could annihilate a small country in minutes."

"I just had a thought." Issei told Saji, earned his attention. "Why didn't Sona mention her to us earlier? Like when Kokabiel attacked, you think she would've like needed her help. Is it because they don't get along?"

"No, it's the opposite." Akeno answered with a smile, earned their attention. "The problem is actually that Lady Serafall loves her sister a little too much. Some would say she's obsessed. Sona could've asked for help, but would've gone out of control."

"Also, if she found out her baby sister have been violated by a Fallen Angel, she would've started a war right then." Saji added.

"I can't take it anymore!" Sona shouts with teary eyes as she then ran away, sobbing. Serafall then ran after her, tried to call her sister.

Virgil knew that this would happen since it's not his first time seeing Serafall's childish behavior.

"Looks like Sona's gonna need my help, talk to you later." Saji said with an awkward smile as he then ran after them.

"Saji just had it for a rough time, isn't he?" Asia asked, smiled sheepishly.

"It's not really my place to say, Asia, but yes he is, all the Devil Kings are like this." Rias answered with a sigh. "He's got his work cut out for him."

"What do you mean like this?" Issei asked curiously.

"High-strong and excitable." Rias answered. "It can be exhausting."

Virgil nods with an understanding as they headed back in the academy.

At the end of the school day, students were either meet up with each other or their parents gone home. Virgil, Asia, Nora Koneko, and Kuroka were about to meet up with his family when they noticed that Lightning was talking with Cornelius and Griselda, but noticed that their son approaches them.

"Virgil." Lightning called him.

"Mom, what's going on?" Virgil questions.

"We've been talking about you, son." Cornelius answered. "Apparently, I've explained about the Church's actions and you."

"I didn't take it very well about that since I have to hear it." Lightning added. "Of course, they had a reason which I can understand it."

"Did something happen?" Asia asks.

"Well, him and I are the same." Lightning told her. "You do remember Virgil told you about me?"

Asia, Koneko, and Kuroka nods which they get the idea about what Lightning was talking about.

"Of course, neither of us want to fight over our son or force him to make a decision." Griselda said. "Only because he's more than just where he was from or whom he lived with. We are also the same because we love our son for who he is no matter what."

That got Virgil in tears when his mother told him, along with Asia and Koneko. Kuroka couldn't help but smile as Lightning then embraced her adopted son with a heart-warming hug. Griselda and Cornelius then joins.

"Ah, there you are." Zeoticus said, earned their attention as they break-up the hug. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt."

"Hello Zeoticus, it's been some time." Lightning greets.

"Yes it has, Lightning." Zeoticus nods with a smile. "I've heard that you're having a talk with the two Exorcists."

"Yes, but it comes to the point that we've shared something in common." Lightning said. "It's just that I've been on their shoes since everything happens back in Gran Pulse when Serah was captured by Fal'Cie."

"I can understand that." Zeoticus said, not to pry further. "I was meeting up with Issei's parents and have a party for tonight."

"I see." Cornelius said. "We're planning to have a get together for tonight."

"That sounds wonderful." Zeoticus said with a smile.

"Also, Virgil is planning to get back in Gran Pulse for his birthday after the peace summit, I was wondering if you can come to Gran Pulse." Lightning offered.

"Lightning, I would like it very much." Zeoticus accepts with delight. "I'll talk with Venelana when I get back in the Underworld, she would love to see your home planet."

Lightning nods with a smile as Zeoticus left the academy.

"It seems that this conversation has gone well." Sirzechs said with a smile as he walked towards them.

"How long have you been here?" Virgil asked.

"Long enough." Sirzechs answered. "But I need to talk to you privately."

Virgil then raised his eyebrow, but something tells him that this isn't his ill will as he then nods. Both Virgil and Sirzechs were at the roof which it's pretty much private as he spoke.

"Virgil, there's something I want to talk about." Sirzechs said with his neutral expression. "It's about the other Bishop."

"What? I thought Asia was the only Bishop in Rias' peerage." Virgil said with shock.

"Yes, but what you didn't know was that she has the other bishop in her peerage." Sirzechs told him as he began to explain. "You see, my sister wasn't strong enough to handle his power before, but she is now after the recent events."

That got Virgil glaring at Sirzechs.

"Don't worry, he's not dangerous." Sirzechs assured him. "It's just that he had a very strong Sacred Gear that can be troublesome since he couldn't full control it."

"Like what?" Virgil questions.

"You'll have to ask Rias about that Sacred Gear. If anyone who knows about that Sacred Gear, it's between me and Rias." Sirzechs told him. "However, I don't want to hold you here too long since your relatives might be worried. Take care."

With that, Sirzechs and Virgl then began to leave the academy which he began to wander what could Sirzechs mean about the other Bishop. He thought Asia was the only Bishop on Rias' peerage, but it looks like she's not. Virgil needs to get some answers from Rias since she's the only one who knew about the Bishop.

That's it for the 24th chapter. Sorry about the delay.
